Little OOTD from what i wore out to do some shopping, i picked up a few bits which i'll later show you in another post, possibility that i started my summer shopping way too early!

Little OOTN from Saturday night. Tee from Primark, Boots (unseen) Fearn from Boohoo and Disco Pants in midnight navy from American Apparel.

I adore my disco pants so much so that i most definitely need them in every colour! shame about the hefty £70 price tag though hey.

AA Disco pants have been slap dashed on every blog post near and far, its probably down to them that i requested a pair for Christmas as i thought i couldn't justify spending so much on a simple pair of trousers, but no, they are so much more than that! they nip, cinch and give you the smoothest silhouette and believe you me my hips and bottom need that smooth silhouette ;)!!

Next on my list are the black ones, simple and classic. You can pair with almost anything, but theres a little part of me that's daring me to venture out of my comfort zone and purchase the purple ones?!

Do any of you own the disco pants? Which colour do you have? Any suggested colours?

So I did a little after work shopping yesterday, I mainly went to see if H&M had the Spring/Summer collection out as I'm head over heels in love with a mint two piece short suit that is being highly lusted after but that's a different story for a different blog post...

Anyhow, it is pretty much sinful to pass by Primark when shopping so I popped in, no intention on buying anything, well not much.

There I stumbled across these, Patchwork throw and assortment of pillow covers. Awh, beyond lovable

Oh, and a few little last touches...

I love how i was able to give the bedroom a mini makeover and for a mere £25 (not including candles) in total you really cant go wrong!

Patchwork throw £15 Pillow covers £2.50 each! Ah good old Primark.

If you follow me on Instagram you will have more than likely seen the pictures but if not and would like to you can find me: @nicole_leanne

Oh yes it sures does! and more so when they are offering 22% off orders.

Some of you may have already seen this offer flying around in the odd email but if not i do like to share a little treat with my followers and readers :)
All you have to do is enter MOTELVCFEB22 at the checkout, offer expires 1st March 2012.

Although its the end of the month and i should be scrimping and scraping the savings to get me through the next week running up to pay day (hallelujah, also Mothers 50th is not cheap!) I've seen a few beauts that I'm destined to get my hands on.

OK, so i realise the offer is not 90% off and i should really narrow my options down... That's something i'll look to do later.
Enjoy spending girlies xxx

I had a little spare time before heading out to work today (pictures from Friday) so i thought id take this opportunity to give you a peek of my 'work wear' hmm yes i think I'm just getting a little too comfortable posing :/ Oh yes, and my new spectacles! I'm officially smart looking.

With Spring/Summer (eventually) coming up i should probably be looking and brighter more bolder colours but i cant help but think how classic yet chic the black batchel with my initials embossed on the flap in silver (£5 per letter) would look dangling from my arm, eeeeeeek i get giddy just thinking about it! the only off-putting thing is, it takes an estimated 30 days for it to be delivered! i appreciate it takes time and effort to craft such a beautiful thing ;) especially as each bag is made to order but come one, when i want it need it i want it right there and then. Le sigh.

Ps. Is it just me or does the Vintage Brown look 'blacker' than the actual black batchel? hmph

I was a little bit ditzy this morning, i thought id take some quick snaps before braving the snow so there i was clicking away when i went to check the state of the pictures when i realised i hadn't replaced my SD card in the camera!... big waste of time. However, luckily for you, you missed me sporting a shockingly jokerish mouth! i purchased ELF's classy hoping for a dupe of MACs Angel, I'd heard and seen great things but well now I'm very a little sceptical, I've owned Angel but lost it (more than likely amongst my floordrobe!) hence the purchase.

When i applied Classy i somehow managed a purpley pink hue even after using a lip primer? how others were donning the baby pink colour after using this is beyond me. I quickly replaced the monstrosity with Rimmels Nude Delight a much loved favourite and a swipe of Rimmel Stay Glossy in Non-stop Glamour.

Anyhow, this wasn't supposed to be a review of Classy, proof i can ramble even on a laptop... so on with the OOTD.

I'm cheating a little with this OOTD as it was taken a few days back when it wasn't absolutely freezing (I cant believe we've actually got snow here today!) but i never got the chance to upload it!

I know I've been slacking on the blogging side of things, but after working all day at a computer its understandable that the last thing i want to do is whack on the laptop right ? forgive? :) Anyhow I'll try to be better (and not post for the sake of posting!)

Seeing Laura's post over at buy now, blog later slightly rekindled my love of such delicate and pretty jewellery (especially pearl rings) and Etsy is definitely the place to seek out such beauties! You can almost definitely find something on there to fall in love with. Although i very rarely buy from Etsy, (apart from a gold plated side-ways cross which i adore) i usually trawl through the pages of OOAK pieces of jewellery mainly to swoon over but then i spotted these

Ive seen similar pieces in Magnolia but in my opinion they can sometimes be seriously overpriced for what they are. These are both so pretty and at around £30 surely i cant be denied of them?
Which do you prefer, if any at all?
